Police report : Body of young man was found inside an apartment in a major U.S. city. Maggots were found concentrated in the head and chest region. The windows were closed, although the open curtains allowed sunlight to enter, and the air conditioner was set to 72 degrees F. Weather Report : Daytime temperatures have been variable over past 3 weeks ranging from 75-94 degrees F. Skies have been sunny

1. Approximately how long has this person been dead? 2. What effect, if any, does the outside temperature have on your estimation of time of death? 3. How does the fact that the windows were closed relate to the populations of flies you observed in and around the corpse? (i.e., is there something different about this population than the population investigation #1?). How do you explain the absence of Calliphora vomitoria? 4. Do you suspect foul play? Explain
